1606M original tarfile
1226M bzip2 –best
1.3G gzip –best (sorry, no exact MB)
1152M lzma -7 (default)
1131M lzma -8
LZMA (7-zip) is definitly a algorithm heavy on cpu and memory, but achieved great compression.
This shouldn’t be a benchmark (as I didn’t measure time), only a perception in this specific use case.

Backup compression
I compressed a backup with various tools:
1606M original tarfile
1226M bzip2 –best
1.3G gzip –best (sorry, no exact MB)
1152M lzma -7 (default)
1131M lzma -8
